Over-Indulgence
Over-indulgence and America go together like, well, America and apple pie-eating contests!
A Wise Guy Eh?
One of my all-time favorite TV shows is "The Three Stooges." Curly, Larry and Moe are still the original and best of the comedic actors specializing in "physical comedy."
Be Fruitless and Subtract?
The very first command God gave humanity was, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth" (Gen 1:28). This command is the reason I believe the Fall of Adam and Eve into sin in Genesis 3 happened very quickly after they were created. Maybe no more than a day or two. For surely in their state of Purity, they would have delighted in obeying God's first command! But no children are mentioned until after the Fall.
Lessons Learned in 2015
Well, there have been so many. And then, I fear, there is so much I have not learned yet. And I say fear because the older I get, the harder the lessons get to learn. Thank God for grace.
Star Wars - Episode VII
Just went to see the latest Star Wars installment yesterday. Really enjoyed it. It picked up on the themes of the "real" Star Wars of my childhood in the 70s and 80s. Hans Solo and Chewie and Leia returned! What's not to love? I really struggled to enjoy the three "back story" episodes. Seemed somewhat disconnected and truthfully I didn't think any of those three lived up to the "original" three (which for me is Star Wars, The Empire Strikes Back, and The Return of the Jedi). But this most recent installment was well done and took me back to familiar territory.
